We have now sailed two Alpha F14's (one with "T" foils and one without, and we have even swapped the "T" foils from one boat to the other), over several races and just out together "testing", for some time. We have "swapped" boats as well, all with the object of a "yardstick" test against each other. So far the results that we have obtained is that the "T" foils, throughout the full range of conditions, make a consistent and definite improvement over an identical boat sailing without “T” foils of between 9% and 11%. This is better than any results that we had anticipated and has completely justified all the R & D, design and mould work that it has taken to finish this project. Now we will just have to see what results are obtained from racing against all the other classes in “open” competition.
